July Entries to Hjertebodens Jule Blog

I've been working diligently on my Christmas cards for the month of July for Hjertebodens Jule Blog
I am featuring a lovely Haenglar girl on papers from BG's Nordic Holiday Collection.
This cutie is colored with copics.

The requirement this month is to create a shaker card, so I am also featuring a Haenglar on my shaker card. I haven't made a shaker card in years and, unfortunately, I used too many microbeads for the filler, covering up too much of the image! This sweet Haenglar is also colored with copics and showcased on Maja Design "Vintage Winter" papers.

My final card is a gatefold card inspired by the incredibly talented NORMA. All the Magnolia images are from the 2008 Christmas Collection and featured on fabulous papers from Maja Design called "Vintage Winter". The window is a Small Poppystamps
Madison Window die. I really goofed up on this card....I bet that never happened to Norma!!!! LOL!!!! When I placed the Santa in front of the window with mounting tape, I forgot that the tape will show on the inside of the window as I open the panel. Well, I tried to fix it with greenery to cover up the mistake. It's not a great fix, but it will have to do.

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Your support is greatly appreciated. Wishing you a happy and productive week!!! So glad I still have my Internet!!! Big Hugs, Christina

OMG! Wowzers, all wowzers! I love all your cards Crissy, they are just WONDERFUL. Most of all this very last one, I love scenes, and it is so perfect, with windows, and santa, and Tilda decorating the tree, she is among my favourites. Your shaker card is awesome, lovely shades of blue, wonderful paper, and this cute hAnglar is wonderfully colored, as all your tildas. Wow. love the shading in the reds, and pink beautifully done. My dear friend, you did wonders for those 3 cards. I love them all. Hugs.

I love all three of your cards Christina!!!!! Your gatefold card is spectacular. You covered your "mistake" beautifully. My friends and I laugh about how creative we are at covering our "mistakes".Hugs......Pam:)

Oh my gosh Sweet Christina, I can't believe how many Christmas cards you've already made!!!! I've not even made ONE yet! And all of your cards are so beautiful!!! The Tilda one .. my goodness .. a LOT of work went into that gorgeousness! Wow wow wow .. how would I know where to begin?! These are simply STUNNING sweetie!

AWE!!! I miss Hanglars!!! These cards are too cute Christina! I just adore that gatefold card with the windows! I think your coverup looks great, I wouldn't have even known! haha! Your coloring looks amazing; very soft and beautiful!!!!Be watching your mail! I'm a little late, but both kids were here for a week and I have been working on a commission. I don't like being this busy! rrrr! haha!Big hugs sweetie!Dena

I think all three cards are grand. I love the colors of the first card. Not only do I love the blues of the second card, I love your design work. The third card is just as cute s it can be. You seldom goof! That is what helps keep us on our toes! Well I have gone back and looked at all 3 cards again and my very favorite? The very first one - those colors are gorgeous along with a beautiful bow with what looks like is an antique pin. Love your papers too.Sandy

Hi Christina, all three of your Christmas Cards are so gorgeous! I especially love the gate fold card you have created. The scene with the windows and the Tilda's and Santa is just so adorable!! I love it!Hugs,Suzan

Good grief, could you put me any more to shame? I haven't done a single Christmas card! I may have to resort to store-bought this year! Lol! These are gorgeous...I especially love the last one! The trifold reveals a lovely Christmas story (although I really think that other Tilda should stop sitting around and help decorate the tree, lol!)! Fabulous!Rene :D

You certainly have been busy! All of your cards are wonderful, but I especially like the gatefold with the windows and scenes you've created!!! Fantastic work Christina!(Would never have known about the tape...very creative!!!)

LOL, Christina, I goof quite often too and always trying to recover something from all my mistakes. Covering the back of your Santa with greeneries was brilliant!!!All 3 Christmas cards are gorgeous. Love the colour combo that you've chosen for each. The scene you've created for the Maggie card is so darn cute. Beautiful colouring of your images and you've got terrific DP's. Hugs,Norma

Oh my Christina. All three are so beautiful.. my favorite.. (all 3).. I couldn't pick one if my life depended on it... you did such a wonderful job on all of them and I am in love with them all. Your coloring is so gorgeous and layout so stunning. A great job all three.Hugs, Jean
